# ThinkDeep Tool - Extended Reasoning Partner **Get a second opinion to augment Claude's own extended thinking** The `thinkdeep` tool provides extended reasoning capabilities, offering a second perspective to augment Claude's analysis. It's designed to challenge assumptions, find edge cases, and provide alternative approaches to complex problems. ## Thinking Mode **Default is `high` (16,384 tokens) for deep analysis.** Claude will automatically choose the best mode based on complexity - use `low` for quick validations, `medium` for standard problems, `high` for complex issues (default), or `max` for extremely complex challenges requiring deepest analysis. ## Example Prompt ``` Think deeper about my authentication design with pro using max thinking mode and brainstorm to come up with the best architecture for my project ``` ## Key Features - **Uses Gemini's specialized thinking models** for enhanced reasoning capabilities - **Provides a second opinion** on Claude's analysis - **Challenges assumptions** and identifies edge cases Claude might miss - **Offers alternative perspectives** and approaches - **Validates architectural decisions** and design patterns - **File reference support**: `"Use gemini to think deeper about my API design with reference to api/routes.py"` - **Image support**: Analyze architectural diagrams, flowcharts, design mockups: `"Think deeper about this system architecture diagram with gemini pro using max thinking mode"` - **Enhanced Critical Evaluation (v2.10.0)**: After Gemini's analysis, Claude is prompted to critically evaluate the suggestions, consider context and constraints, identify risks, and synthesize a final recommendation - ensuring a balanced, well-considered solution - **Web search capability**: Automatically identifies areas where current documentation or community solutions would strengthen the analysis and instructs Claude to perform targeted searches ## Tool Parameters - `prompt`: Your current thinking/analysis to extend and validate (required) - `model`: auto|pro|flash|flash-2.0|flashlite|o3|o3-mini|o4-mini|gpt4.1|gpt5|gpt5-mini|gpt5-nano (default: server default) - `problem_context`: Additional context about the problem or goal - `focus_areas`: Specific aspects to focus on (architecture, performance, security, etc.) - `files`: Optional file paths or directories for additional context (absolute paths) - `images`: Optional images for visual analysis (absolute paths) - `temperature`: Temperature for creative thinking (0-1, default 0.7) - `thinking_mode`: minimal|low|medium|high|max (default: high, Gemini only) - `continuation_id`: Continue previous conversations ## Usage Examples **Architecture Design:** ``` "Think deeper about my microservices authentication strategy with pro using max thinking mode" ``` **With File Context:** ``` "Use gemini to think deeper about my API design with reference to api/routes.py and models/user.py" ``` **Visual Analysis:** ``` "Think deeper about this system architecture diagram with gemini pro - identify potential bottlenecks" ``` **Problem Solving:** ``` "I'm considering using GraphQL vs REST for my API. Think deeper about the trade-offs with o3 using high thinking mode" ``` **Code Review Enhancement:** ``` "Think deeper about the security implications of this authentication code with pro" ``` ## Best Practices - **Provide detailed context**: Share your current thinking, constraints, and objectives - **Be specific about focus areas**: Mention what aspects need deeper analysis - **Include relevant files**: Reference code, documentation, or configuration files - **Use appropriate thinking modes**: Higher modes for complex problems, lower for quick validations - **Leverage visual context**: Include diagrams or mockups for architectural discussions - **Build on discussions**: Use continuation to extend previous analyses ## Enhanced Critical Evaluation Process The `thinkdeep` tool includes a unique two-stage process: 1. **Gemini's Analysis**: Extended reasoning with specialized thinking capabilities 2. **Claude's Critical Evaluation**: Claude reviews Gemini's suggestions, considers: - Context and constraints of your specific situation - Potential risks and implementation challenges - Trade-offs and alternatives - Final synthesized recommendation This ensures you get both deep reasoning and practical, context-aware advice. ## When to Use ThinkDeep vs Other Tools - **Use `thinkdeep`** for: Extending specific analysis, challenging assumptions, architectural decisions - **Use `chat`** for: Open-ended brainstorming and general discussions - **Use `analyze`** for: Understanding existing code without extending analysis - **Use `codereview`** for: Finding specific bugs and security issues
